Compassion is an attribute of a person’s affective understanding, which aims to enable, so far as possible, shared experiences of the world’s ills and some alleviation of those ills’ effects.Such an attribute is thus of great value within healthcare institutions such as general practicesand other primary and community healthcare settings. It may characterise the peoplewho participate in those institutions; or, it may not so characterise them. The appearanceof compassion, under certain conditions and even in fragile and incomplete forms, is a kindof human excellence, a way of being for the good in community.* Compassion is not, therefore,a commodity, to be bought, sold and traded. Although time can be costed, there is noline for compassion in any budget. Were compassion to be thought a commodity, one couldimagine trading it off against some more measurable factor (efficiency, cost-effectiveness, etc.).However, our human capacity for compassion, though fragile, tends to resist such marginalisationand reductionism.

In the southern German city of Stuttgart lives a pious Muslim population that has merged with the local population to create a meaningful shared existence. In this ethnographic account, the author introduces and examines the lives of ordinary residents, neighborhoods, and mosque communities to analyze moments and spaces where Muslims and non-Muslims engage with each other and accommodate their respective needs. These accounts show that even in the face of resentment and discrimination, this pious population has indeed become an integral part of the urban community.
